HDR Sourdough bread

HDR Sourdough Bread

Its been a while since I have made some bread. So, on the sourdough life cycle N – 2 (where N was sleep in the refrigerator and N – 1 was pizza dough), I created this version. The recipe was:

  • one and a half teaspoons of salt
  • seven ounces of water (mix the Kosher salt until the crystals dissolve)
  • three ounces of active sourdough culture
  • fifteen ounces of flour (by weight)
  • mix until homogeneous (I had to spray some water because of uneven mixing)
  • cover with saran wrap and let rest overnight
  • knead the dough and place on strip of parchment paper. Cover and let rise for six hours
  • place a Le Creuset Dutch Oven into the oven and preheat to 500 degrees
  • place the bread inside the Dutch Oven and reduce the heat to 425
  • bake for thirty minutes, remove the bread, and place directly on the rack
  • bake for twenty five more minutes
